He had other children older, but they chose to act for themselves -- and were not baptized." From the records of Platt Buffett.2
In household	1850	He appeared in the household of David Holly in the census 1850 in Darien, Fairfield, Connecticut. David is listed as age 64, Cooper, $300 assets ($800?), with Sally, age 57, Sylvester, 36, Labourer, Maria, 30, Theodore, 25, carriage maker, Susan, 19. First name listed in household is Harry Slauson, 28, labourer. Next to Ezra H. Bishop, cabinetmaker. Other neighbors, George Walmey, Hannah Weed, Rufus Weed, Nathaniel Weed, Samuel Waterbury, cabinetmaker. These names appear on the 1856 map.3

Anecdote		Effie McCallum relates that her Uncle Frank told her that Theodore went around South America as a ship's carpenter and carried passengers to San Francisco in the Gold Rush.

In an April 1869 issue, the editor writes "BOATS: We desire to call attention to the advertisement of Mr. Theodore Holly in another column.

W. Raymond, owner and captain, is being thoroughly rebuilt at the yard of Mr. Theodore Holly, who is ably assisted by Wm. Chard and William Lockwood. The Maria is a good model, about 8 tons burthen, and when completed will be strictly a first class vessel, no pains or expense being spared by her owner to make her a perfect specimen of marine architecture.

Studwell, now occupied by Theodore Holly, is offered for sale. There is one-half acre of land and it could be made a very attractive place. Solomon Clark has charge of it."
Newspaper Mention	25 April 1885	He was mentioned in a newspaper report about Alice Holly when 25 April 1885 edition of the Port Chester Journal, Port Chester, Westchester County, New York, reported "Miss Alice Holly has bought a house and lot at Steep Hollow, of Daniel S. Jessup and she, with her parents, will probably remove there this week. The house on Railroad Avenue owned by Captain James L. Clark, of Bridgeport, which has been occupied by Theo. Holly and family, is offered for sale.
Newspaper Mention	7 May 1885	The 7 May 1885 edition of the Port Chester Journal, Port Chester, Westchester County, New York, reported "Theodore Holly & family, moved to the residence recently purchased by his daughter, at Steep Hollow, the first of this week."
Newspaper Mention	28 May 1885	The 28 May 1885 edition of the Port Chester Journal, Port Chester, Westchester County, New York, reported "The property formerly occupied by Theodore Holly, next south of C.E. Studwell's is offered for sale at a very low price."
Census	11 June 1900	He appeared in the census 11 June 1900 in Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut. Theodore is listed as: Head, b. July 1821, age 78, m. 50 years, no occupation listed, with Clara, wife, b. 1827, no month listed, age 73, 1 child, 1 living (not sure why it says this, she had at least 4 ch. and two are living right here.), and Arthur, son, b.

Church office records: "Title to lot #85 given to T. Holley from the First Congregational Society of Greenwich, Conn, by deed. Mrs. Etta Morrell c/o Frank Holly, Cos Cob owner by inheritence from her father, Theo. Holly." That is on page 85 of a book copied at the church.
Obituary	17 September 1909	17 September 1909, Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut, Greenwich News Obituary:. "Theodore Holly, aged 87 years, died at his home in North Cos Cob on Tuerday. The funeral was held from the late residence yesterday afternoon. Interment was in the cemetery at Sound Beach."
Burial Plot	1909	This is the Holly family plot at the First Congregational Church, Sound Beach Avenue, Old Greenwich, CT. This is the plot of Theodore Holly, the brother of William Henry Holly, and his mother, wife and children and their spouses (about 10 stones). In 1931, Francis Spies compiled a listing of all the stones in this cemetery, and the only Holly stone listed was that of Eugene, who died young at age 30 in 1891. Therefore, I wonder if all the Holly stones of burials before 1931 were put up after 1931. Eugene's stone is showing serious wear, in contrast to the others. I checked with the church, and they sent me copies of their plot cards, and they do not record when the stones were placed.

Note	29 January 1913	On 29 January 1913, in Port Chester, Westchester County, New York, Diary of Winifred L. Holly Tilley, "Aunt H. went over to Schmalings today. They divided up Aunt Susan's things. My, how quick people grab your few little treasures after you are gone." We think this may refer to Susan Holly Hennessy. Schmaling's may be a reference to a note in Uncle David's files: Clinton Schmaling Ella Wilson Schmaling Airport in Bedford I don't know what the note means, but Ella Wilson did marry John G. Schmaling. Ella's parents were Zachary P. Wilson (1851 - 1928) and Ida M. Banks. I don't know if this is any connection to Sarah Wilson, Winifred's great grandmother. I don't know why Susan Holly would be involved with the Schmalings.10
